TWEEDS AND COAT!
I've consolidated my sales threads, with a price drop on an item in each former post (the shetland tweed and the Saks cashmere) to pay for the bump.

1) Saks Fifth Avenue cashmere coat
This is a lovely coat--thick, heavy cashmere in a lovely rich camel colour that my pictures turned to washed-out beige... So, please don't be put off by them!
This coat is a lovely, thick, heavy cashmere--not the thin stuff that's available now. It's also very well-made, being half-canvassed, fully lined, and with a hook vent. The exterior pockets are lined with either suede or thick cotton duck, with the right one having a functional change pocket inside. And, of course, it's terrifically cut.
However, it does have some flaws--although these are mainly lining issues. The lining under both armholes is frayed and torn, and needs to be patched--a competent dry-cleaner tailor should be able to do this. The lining under the flaps of the front pockets is also frayed and worn, as shown--again, an easy patch, unless you'd like to ignore this as it won't get worse quickly, and could be readily fixed if it did. There are also small rubbed patches from wear on the right sleeve by the shoulder, by the hook vent, and near the hem, on the front, as well as on the elbows. These are from abrasion from wear, and so give the coat a lovely, lived-in old-money WASP-y feel... However, they do render it unsuitable as a business coat and mean it should be a more casual weekend or evening coat--and one that would be absolutely perfect for dates, being formal, yet, now, owing to its acquired patina and hence sprezzatura, not!
Given this, this coat is in Good condition, and so I'm asking just $69 > 65 > 60 > 55 or offer!

2) Shetland tweed in moss-green herringbone Canvassed
Along with a patchwork tweed, I've wanted a dark moss-green herringbone for ages--but I've yet to come across one in my size....
And not only is this a lovely moss-green herringbone tweed, but it's also a Shetland tweed--just as hardy as Harris or Donegal, but with a lovely softer drape and hand. This jacket is half-canvassed with a Anglophilic three-button front with subtle darting; it's also unvented, in Flusser-approved fashion. It's in excellent condition--the front breast pocket is still sewn shut. It's fully lined.
Asking just $40 > 35, or offer.

3) Barney's of New York mossy green glen plaid jacket Canvassed

4) Classic Harris Tweed by Wallach's Canvassed
Previously posted; now with price drop. Original thread here: http://www.styleforum.net/showpost.p...33&postcount=1
This is a lovely classic dark brown herringbone Harris Tweed shot through with vertical lines of blue, and flecked with occasional threads of green and red. (The colourway is much richer than my pictures show!) Made in the USA for the now-defunct trad. store Wallach's, this is half-lined and half-canvassed with a single vent. This jacket needs a good press as it's rumpled from storage, and so is currently only in Very Good condition. But a press will bring it up to Excellent condition--and you'll press and dry-clean a jacket like this when you receive it anyway, right?
Given it needs a press, asking just $30 > 28 or offer.

Chest: 22
Sleeve: 22 3/4 (+3)
Shoulder: 18 5/8
Length: 29 1/2
5) LARGE, RECENT Burberry Alpaca/Wool mini-herringbone from Boyd's of Philadelphia Canvassed
Previously posted; now with price drop. Original thread here: http://www.styleforum.net/showpost.p...33&postcount=1
This is a terrific jacket--and if you're a larger chap, you should grab it while you have the chance!
Made from 70% wool and 30% alpaca, the cloth of this jacket has a wonderful hand and a lovely drape. It's also a classic mini-herringbone, and so very versatile. The jacket is fully lined and half-canvassed, has a single vent, and a nod to the novacheck lining of the trenchcoats by the interior pocket. This was made in the USA, and sold by the Ivy-friendly store Boyd's of Philadelphia--which is still going very strong, as this is a recent Burberry! It's in absolutely excellent condition.
Asking $45 or offer
I believe that this is tagged a 52--see the interior label--but please see the measurements.
